and I do not like this obsession with man city children, Liam Delap, I get he's got potential, but we've got kids with potential… If we going to have kids with potential we might as well not spend money on the ones we don't have and use the ones we do But seriously, to play striker in the Prem, you need a good strong grown-up, preferably with top-level experience (although not necessarily Premier league), but above all they've got to be good Agreed, he's not what we need. If Che goes and we get a proper striker to replace him, I don't mind us getting Delap to replace Mara, but if he's the only striker incoming then absolutely not.

Calling Sir B3na1i... isn't it about time you changed your profile picture? We need all the help we can get.

You could have got Sesko for peanuts last summer but RBL are now asking silly money that few can afford. With no Brooks and no Stu I'm also expecting us to find a decent #10 to provide the bullets. Fabio Carvalho still stands out to me. We obviously like him, been in for him twice. Pros: Looks exciting, probably has a great Youtube compilation 9 goals in 20 Championship games for Hull Absolutely ripped Cardiff to shreds and scored a lovely volley against them when I saw him this season Scored against Saints and although I didn't see the game I think the view was that he played well at St Mary's? Extenuating circumstances at Liverpool that Klopp famously said that there's no number 10 better than a good pressing system, so never going to fit in there Likely to be available, I'd guess he'd be affordable as well Cons: Chose Liverpool (ok) and Hull (not ok) ahead of us- obviously speculation about how far we got with him in terms of a deal each time so not sure about this Some doubts about attitude as much as playing style at Liverpool maybe? Why did he end up having to take a step back to a mid table Championship club? Could be a worry

Could be a worry With Slot coming to Liverpool, I think this is a non-starter, as the new manager was tracking him while he was at Feyenoord (Maybe crazydanny can confirm?), and it seems that Liverpool are looking to integrate him ASAP.

The latest I’ve heard is that Liverpool will test him, but that’s it’s likely that they want to get rid of him. No idea if that’s true though.

To be honest I'm just relieved we're not among them, there haven't been any noises that we were likely to be but we did spend a lot and you never know how close we are to exceeding the limit.

Well, we can but hope. I've no problem with Adams if he is happy to be an impact player off the bench, but not as our first choice main striker. If that's what he wants then he is better off leaving imho.

Interesting, I wonder who our guy in Argentina is. Carlos Alcarez also came out of nowhere.
